Chapter 18: Walking on Earth (2)

According to the plan, Mu Bai took Xiao Wu to Beijing as the imperial capital of Kyushu in the world.

On that day, it is the Shangyuan Festival, and the streets are lined with flags and lanterns, and there are many merchants and shops selling silk and satin cloths, jewelry, spices, and ...... There is everything, as well as inns, teahouses, restaurants, hospitals, pawnshops, temples, etc.

There are also many small vendors with big umbrellas on the streets, selling water, vegetables, buns and flatbreads, calligraphy and paintings, lanterns and paper kites, fortune tellers, and acrobatic jugglers, mixed with hawkers selling gourds and sugar people.

On the streets where people shout and neigh, there are walking, sedan chairs, horseback riding, car-riding, and burden-bearing, so a lively, prosperous and noisy capital!

Xiao Wu walked, shopped, and ate at the same time, like a bird that had just flown out of the cage, happily shuttling through the crowd.

Xiao Wu was attracted by the cheers of a juggler, and got into the crowd to stand in front, and Mu Bai and the others also followed in. I saw a girl who was not much older than Xiao Wu, with more than a dozen small sticks connected together, holding a dozen plates and spinning rapidly.

Xiao Wu was surprised and applauded loudly.

The girl played more energetically, holding the rotating plate to do all kinds of backward flips, flips, splits and other actions, and finally bit the thin wooden stick with her mouth, the plate turned faster, and the movements were more difficult, Xiao Wu shouted more excitedly, "Good! good!

After playing, Xiao Wu stepped forward and wanted to play, "I want to try it too."

The girl's father saw that Xiao Wu was dressed as a noble son, walked over with a smile, gave Xiao Wu a thin wooden stick as a support, and said, "Here, little boy, you hold it upright and shake it slowly, evenly, and smoothly in one direction...... Yes, that's all". The girl's father said, picking up a plate and turning it on the tips of his fingers, then putting it on the stand that Xiao Wu was holding, "Keep turning, be steady."

The plate really spun on the wooden stick in Xiao Wu's hand, and before everyone had time to cheer, they heard a "bang", and the plate that had just been turned fell to the ground and shattered.

"Ahh

"Why is there such a big difference?", Xiao Wu shouted, scratching her ears and cheeks, very discouraged.

The girl's father laughed and said: "Haha, little boy, one minute on stage, it will take ten years off the stage."

Mu Bai motioned to Long Teng to put a piece of gold in the tray in the little girl's hand, and the crowd let out a loud "Wow!" shock, obviously giving too much.

Mu Bai nodded at the girl's father, pulled up the embarrassed little dance, and left with a smile.

After a while, Xiao Wu forgot this little embarrassment, and was constantly attracted by sugar people, flower cloth shoes, nuts, mille-feuille cakes, etc., among which the most attractive to Mu Bai and Xiao Wu was a very small and delicate red fire pomegranate hairpin on the jewelry stall, which was very similar to the flower inserted in Mu Bai's ear when Xiao Wu danced the "Butterfly Love Flower" dance, Mu Bai bought it and inserted it affectionately in Xiao Wu's hair.

Xiao Wu looked up at Mu Bai and brought her hairpin, and felt that Mu Bai was so beautiful at this time! Xiao Wu stood on tiptoe, couldn't help but "snap" and kissed him on the face, said "I still want that handkerchief", and ran away.

Mu Bai touched his cheek that had been kissed, covered and blushed, could it be ...... Does his little girl understand love?

Long Teng saw that the second prince was in a daze, turned his head and pretended not to see it, while Cui'er shyly avoided the tiger's hot gaze to chase Xiao Wu, and was secretly bitter in his heart: "Alas, little master, you are all watching...... How do you remind the little master, a girl's family ......".

Long Teng inquired about the best inn and asked for the best VIP room, and a group of five people lived in.

There are lanterns at night, and as soon as it gets dark, Xiao Wu goes out in a hurry.

When she went out, Xiao Wu felt that something cool fell on her face, and when she saw that the ground where few people walked, it was also covered with a layer of white. Xiao Wu had never seen snow before, and Mu Bai told her that the place where they were was was now winter, and it would snow in winter......

Xiao Wu looked up at the sky and saw patches of white snow, fluttering down from the air like petals, which was very beautiful!

Xiao Wu looked up at the snow and reveled in it......

Mu Bai stared at her elegant and tranquil, with infinite affection in her eyes.

In the evening, the market is already lit up and the crowd is bustling.

Xiao Wu was holding a rabbit lamp in one hand and a string of sugar gourds in the other, drilling everywhere, Mu Bai was afraid that she would get lost, so he kept holding her robe sleeve. Xiao Wu handed the sugar gourd to Mu Bai from time to time, and the two of them ate while pointing and watching the lanterns.

All kinds of lotus lanterns, peacock lanterns, mandarin duck water lanterns, eight immortals crossing the sea, etc., light up the ten-mile long street, the lights are bright like day, the stars are brilliant, and there is a shining lighthouse standing in the center of the street, which is beautiful and dazzling.

In the river on the side of the street, there are countless river lanterns, and the floating lights flicker and ripple down with the flowing water, and the stars are like a fairyland......

The drums on the street are noisy, the sheng songs are deafening, and the social fire circus juggling, storytelling and singing, and guessing lantern riddles add to the infinite liveliness.

"Go to the Zuihualou on Yangliu Street and go to see the fireworks!", Xiao Wu heard the people next to her shouting, and they all rushed in one direction, Xiao Wu pulled Mu Bai to join in the fun.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the drunken flower building, I saw a dazzling fireworks rising into the sky, or the golden chrysanthemum blooming, or the peacock opening the screen, or the giant dragon coiling, and the purple and red fireworks illuminated half the sky.

Xiao Wu grew her mouth, looking at the thousands of purples and reds of the fire tree and silver flowers that never sleeped, her eyes were full of brilliance, "Mu Bai, look, this looks so good!"

"Well, it's good-looking!", Mu Bai looked at Xiao Wu with a smile, his amorous eyes were full of black eyes of a little girl reflecting fireworks, and it was his greatest happiness that she could be happy!

In front of the railing of each floor of the four-story drunken flower building, there are crowded with thinly dressed and dazzling beauties, and they laugh like songs.

After the fireworks, a half-aged with colorful clothes and still charming style, stood on the steps at the entrance of the building, and shouted to everyone: "Today, the fireworks presented by the drunken flower building are here, don't forget, today is also the last gamble of my drunken flower building to choose the oiran...... Zuihualou has prepared the best wine and food in the world, waiting for you."

After the woman finished speaking, she swayed her chubby body into the drunken flower building, and a group of men also laughed and followed in, and the beauties upstairs also hula-la-la and scattered back into the building.

The bizarre lanterns, brilliant fireworks, and noisy sheng flute songs and dances in the street market really opened Xiao Wu's eyes. I have walked a few streets, Xiao Wu feels a little tired, the sky with snowflakes is really cold, the loneliness after the ceremonial flowers, so that Xiao Wu is yearning for the lively and delicious wine and food in the drunken flower building, she pulled Mu Bai and went inside.

Mu Bai hurriedly grabbed Xiao Wu and stopped, "You can't go to this place!", after speaking, he was about to pull Xiao Wu away.

Xiao Wu begged, "I'm hungry, there is the best food here, and the best wine, you can let me go in and taste it."

"No!", Mu Bai firmly refused.

Xiao Wu shook off Mu Bai's hand and said angrily: "Hmph, I want to go in! Isn't it just some girls drinking with me?

When the two were coming to the stalemate, a wisp of black smoke dispersed, and Cheng Lie was already standing in front of several people, looking at the angry two, and said strangely: "You two, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Wu...... She's making a fuss about going into a place like this to drink."

Mu Bai complained to the eldest brother in a puff, he didn't need to ask to know that the eldest brother didn't worry about himself and came, and he still regarded himself as a child who hadn't grown up.

After hearing this, Cheng Lie couldn't cry or laugh, he squinted, pursed his lips, and asked Xiao Wu with a sad expression, "Xiao Wu, do you know that this is a dry place?"

Xiao Wu was still angry, "Aren't they just some bewitching women, coaxing men to be happy and spend more money?", and said with a very understanding look: "But here is the best wine in the world, let's just go and taste it, besides, I'm also hungry, why not go in?...... Besides, the women in there are very good at making men happy, what's wrong with you?

Xiao Wu felt that she was very sensible, and she was putting herself in the shoes of Mu Bai and their men, and she was just trying good wine and food by the way.

Actually, it's no wonder that Xiao Wu didn't understand, firstly, Xiao Wu was still young at the time, and only lived in two relatively isolated places in Luming Valley and Dajingyang Palace, all of them played with children, and there were no older and caring female dependents to talk about some things about her daughter's family, and secondly, the books she could read were all orthodox books, and they couldn't guide her, what was going on between men and women?

Cheng Lie looked at Mu Bai with sympathy, pity and sadness, and Mu Bai responded with a wry smile.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Lie couldn't help but ask the stupid Xiao Wu again curiously: "Do you think that the women here are just coaxing men to spend money and drink?"

"So what else?", Xiao Wu replied without thinking.

Cheng Lie shook his head, indicating that he was really drunk, and he teased again: "Xiao Wu, if Mu Bai is here, he is very happy to be coaxed by a woman, what if he doesn't want you?"

"No, Mu Bai doesn't like to drink, he won't want my ...... Yes, I don't want him first", Xiao Wu replied with great confidence.

Mu Bai squeezed it fiercely, and the hand that Xiao Wu was holding tightly was considered a punishment.

Seeing that Xiao Wu shivered, and seeing that Mu Bai was also wearing thin clothes, Cheng Lie thought about it, as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, Xiao Wu, I hope you understand that Mu Bai is happiest in this kind of place, that is, when you cry the saddest, I hope you don't regret it...... Okay! Today, I will have a long time of knowledge."

Mu Bai was about to refuse, but was taken inside by Cheng Lie's shoulders, "It's okay to see and see, let's go."

A group of six people walked into the gate of the drunken flower building, and as soon as they entered the building, they felt that the heat wave hit people, and the fragrance of flowers, wine and vegetables, and fat powder were mixed, and it didn't smell very good.

Seeing the noble prince dressed up and bringing the servants Cheng Lie and Mu Bai in, he knew that he was a rich and extraordinary lord, the old bustard who spoke just now, with a face full of thick powder, hurriedly stepped forward and greeted warmly, "Oh, what a handsome son, looking at the face, it's the first time you've come, right?"

Cheng Lie's eyes were above the top, and he said, "Yes, prepare the best private room for the master."

"Yes, sir, come with me!"

The old bustard swayed and beckoned the group to a box on the second floor, Cheng Lie, Mu Bai, and Xiao Wu sat at the table, and Cui'er, Long Teng, and Tiger Roar stood behind the table.

A guy came to order, Xiao Wu grabbed the order, first ordered the dim sum made of his favorite pomegranate, and even asked for all kinds of wine with nice names for himself, Mu Bai couldn't stop him, "Xiao Wu, I can't order any more wine."

"This, this, and this ......"

Xiao Wu turned a deaf ear, and continued to point on the wine list, the guy who ordered the order, the happy mouth was almost grinning to his ears, he met the refreshing lord today.

"Let her go, see what she can do?", Cheng Lie pouted Xiao Wu and reminded Mu Bai not to care, he let her toss first.

Mu Bai pursed his lips and sighed.

Xiao Wu was very proud when she saw Mu Bai compromising again, she came to the railing and looked around excitedly on it.

I saw that this drunken flower building was brightly lit and lively.

Downstairs in the front, there is a stage made of carved wood, which is covered with rich carpets and colorful flowers.

There are dozens of tables around the stage, and the tables are full of all kinds of delicacies, and the tables are full of indulgent men and women who hug each other and hold pots to persuade them to drink, and their laughter is unrestrained; on the second floor, there are more than a dozen private rooms in three weeks, and the tables are also full of wine and food, and men in all kinds of luxurious robes are surrounded by beautiful women, and the sound of debauchery and laughter floats through the curtains.

Hearing the sound of talking behind her, Xiao Wu turned around and saw the old bustard just now, standing in front of the table with ten half-dressed beauties, "Master, these are all the first-class girls of our Zuihualou, Master picks a few of them and waits."

I saw Cheng Lie raise his chin and glance at Xiao Wu obliquely, his eyes began to scan among the ten beauties, and his fingers selected the four most charming beauties.

The four selected beauties, like flowers and butterflies, shouted "Master!" in a coquettish voice, and flew to Cheng Lie and Mu Bai together.

The position next to Mu Bai was also occupied by the beauty, Xiao Wu rushed over angrily, glared at the beauty who occupied her place, and shouted: "This is my seat, you go!"

Cheng Lie and Mu Bai looked at the angry Xiao Wu and smiled at each other...... Cheng Lie beckoned his hand and asked the beauty to sit on his side.

Xiao Wu sat in his seat with his arms crossed, his head bowed, and he puffed up, and when he saw the guy bringing the wine, he grabbed the wine, poured a glass and drank it dry, and then poured the wine again.

Mu Bai couldn't help but hold down the cup to stop, "Don't drink it, it's so fast!"

"You have to take care of it!"

Xiao Wu muttered, angrily turned to the side and shook off Mu Bai's hand, and saw that there were a lot of dishes on the table, so he began to send it to his forgotten mouth angrily, and he couldn't chew it when he stuffed his mouth.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, watching the villain in front of them lose their temper there.

When she ate a plate of white and translucent dishes, Xiao Wu turned around to find her buddy, but when she didn't find it, she called Cui'er and said, "Later, go and ask, how is this dish made?"

"Beauty, what's the matter, don't you toast the masters?", Cheng Lie smiled and reminded the beauties beside him.

Mu Bai knew that the eldest brother was angry with Xiao Wu. Worried about Xiao Wu's willful drag on himself, the eldest brother has always been unhappy, if he hadn't protected himself, he would have cleaned up Xiao Wu many times.

Entering the Drunken Flower Building, Mu Bai was not good at the kindness of his eldest brother, and secondly, as he had reached the age of love, he was indeed curious about the things here. What's more, he also wanted Xiao Wu to learn a lesson, and seeing the little girl's jealous appearance, Mu Bai was still very proud in his heart.

The beauties suddenly became active, and they persuaded them to drink in a loud voice, "Ah! I patronized this handsome little boy who is hard to find in the sky and hard to find on the ground, and I forgot to toast, and the slave family should be punished! Master, drink this cup of ...... first."

The beauty beside Mu Bai also whispered to persuade the wine, "Come on, master, drink this cup."

Xiao Wu seemed to steal a glimpse of it unintentionally, Cheng Lie rubbed it with his hand, and the red lips of a beauty who was half lying on him provoked a coquettish cry, "Master, you, it's so bad!"

Xiao Wu even saw a bewitching beauty on Mu Bai's shoulder with one hand, and brought wine to his mouth with the other...... drank it directly, and smiled at the beauty with a red face, and, still, ...... Don't forget to glance at yourself.

Is it to demonstrate to her? or to show off to her? Xiao Wu is so angry!

Guarding Cheng Lie, Xiao Wu didn't dare to drive away the toasting beauty directly, but the eyes that looked at Mu Bai were already filled with tears of anger and grievance.

Cui'er came back to tell her, saying that the dish was made by boiling and chopping buffalo meat and pressing it together to cool, Xiao Wu didn't listen to it much, and when she saw that there were several kinds of wine coming up, she turned her head and ordered Cui'er: "Pour me any new wine."

After speaking, Xiao Wu had a gloomy and stinky face, turned around to face the direction of the railing, she didn't want to and couldn't stand those bad pictures, she drank a cup of stuffy wine, and couldn't help but have more and more tears in her eyes, she was so heartbroken!

When Mu Bai meets a beautiful beauty, will he really not want himself? Xiao Wu began to regret not being at the beginning!

But how could Mu Bai be like this? Didn't he say that he was alone in this life?

Seeing that Cui'er hesitated not to pour herself wine, Xiao Wu suppressed the tears in her eyes again and again, and with a fire in her heart that couldn't go out, she said, "What?

Cui'er looked at Mu Bai aggrievedly for help, and when she saw that Mu Bai didn't look here, she sighed, and reluctantly poured wine for Xiao Wu again.
